Martin Brothers Bird

Martin Brothers Tobacco Jar modeled as a Grotesque Bird. This early example dates from 1884 and has his feet directly attached to the stand with a lozenge mark to his rear and incised marks to the internal body and to the flange of the head. There is very minor restoration to several very small chips to the rear rim of the head and a minor touch in to the interior of the body (just above the mark for London) There are many more images showing the detail of the modelling, the colouration and the marks available on request
